This assumes Tesla wants to enter the taxi business.
If they're just a supplier of robotaxis then a taxi company can choose to switch vendors.
Plus, if the robotaxi business follows the Uber model where "partners" supply their own cars, there isn't even a primary vendor in the first place.

If operating the car costs $20k per year, that's $35k profit per year. It doesn't make sense to sell a car for $30K if it can make $35k in profit per year.
